Abstracts Submission 2024 NOW CLOSED
Due to the extraordinary interest in the 2019 Symposium, we are asking anyone who wishes to attend the 2024 Symposium to submit an Abstract. Accepted abstract Authors will be offered registration to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to contribute and participate, without having to compromise on space and workshop sizes.
In-line with smaller delegate numbers, registrations will be offered by invitation to the Abstract Authors (one), as follows:
- 20 February: Authors will be notified of the outcome of their application, and successful abstract authors will be invited to register for the Symposium
- 14 March: Registrations close for abstract authors. If the author has not accepted and paid for registration by this date, the abstract acceptance will be rescinded and registration offered to another author/delegate.
This applies to all registration types, including students, and large groups. Organisations wishing to send a group, must note that only the presenting author will be invited to register, so each group member must submit an abstract (which is accepted) to attend.
CONTACT: Expert Events if you have any concerns in relation to the Abstract submission: pes2024@expertevents.com.au

- Enhancing belonging in pharmacy education
- Equity, diversity and inclusion in pharmacy education and practice
